How to Test

Open any text document with section/index/glossary markers.
Trigger any of this via Insert -> Automatic:

• Table of contents
• Index
• Glossary
• List of figures
• List of tables
  Content will be inserted just like before but without popup, Wait cursor appears during the update and resets after. (wait cursor may not be visible due to fast update)
  Instead of popup now "Updating current buffer ..." message is shown in status bar.

What Changed

document-edit.scm: system-wait → set-message + wait cursor

• Replaced popup dialog with footer status bar message
• Added set-cursor-style "wait"/"normal" around update-document

edit_process.cpp: system_wait → set_message

Replaced popup in generate_bibliography, generate_index, generate_glossary.

Screen-Rec

(Cursor not visible due to my system settings)

Switching these actions from (update-document "all") to a specific key (e.g. "the-index") routes through update-document’s (generate-aux what) path. In edit_process_rep::generate_aux_recursively, all auxiliary blocks are cleared unconditionally before the conditional which check, so calling generate-aux with a non-empty key can leave any other existing automatic content (TOC/index/glossary/lists) empty in documents that contain multiple auxiliary blocks. To avoid a regression vs the previous full update, consider regenerating all aux content without the heavyweight UI path (e.g. a helper that does generate-all-aux/generate-aux "" without system-wait), or adjust aux generation so only matching blocks are cleared/regenerated.

Typo: "popupo" should be "popups".
